The whole ‘it’s veganmofo I should be posting every day’-thing isn’t going well. The truth is I’m pretty busy these days. There’s work that’s taking time (and lately I’ve been so exhausted once I’m home from work) and then there’s the upcoming veggie fair that i need to prepare things for. We’re still pretty much only planning things, although I’m working on a few small things.

Two days ago we went to one of the biggest shopping places of Sweden. It was quite an adventure that took us all day. I got out of bed at five in the morning and at 6 we were on the road. On the way there we were almost hit by a truck, that idiot was busy texting or talking on his mobile phone and was about to ram us. On the way back home (several hours later and very poor) mum’s car broke down and we had to be towed back home. Bleh!

I’m also feeling incredibly uninspired when it comes to food and food photography. We’ve mostly been eating pizza, sandwiches and fast food lately. It’ll be back soon I’m sure. I haven’t even tried anything from my new cookbooks yet, I got Eat, Drink and be Vegan not long ago and this week Veganomicon arrived. What’s wrong with me!?

And to not make this a useless post,

Veganmofo : I was once a tempeh virgin!

This country has a big problem. Huge! It’s very difficult to find tempeh. So difficult in fact that last week was the first time I ever tried it. We tried looking for tempeh when we went to England this summer but I couldn’t find any. I’ve been looking for it for so long now that I actually had started giving up. And then there it was, right before my eyes in all it’s glory. I figured I needed a really good recipe for my first ever tempeh encounter so I made Katie’s Tempeh Wingz (buy her new zine!). Everyone’s been going crazy over them and the definitely didn’t disappoint. I made 4 portions and had one myself. The other three portions Alex devoured. I swear, that man could eat an entire fridge full of food. Now I wish I could have tempeh everyday. I can’t remember the first time I had tofu, but the first time I had tempeh was definitely one to remember.
